Top NATO Official Backpedals After Telling Kids How Safe Kabul Is

Top NATO envoy in Afghanistan Mark Sedwill is scrambling to “clarify” claims he made on the CBBC’s “Newsround” program. a popular program for British children, about how nice the Afghan capital city of Kabul is.

Yet Britain’s Foreign Office, which Sedwill worked for until his recent NATO appointment, still advises against traveling to the Afghan capital city, citing the “significant escalation’ of attacks in Kabul. The Foreign Office does not appear to make any comparable warnings about Glasgow or London.
